If you’re a Java developer, you probably know that you can create a thread by implementing the Runnable interface or by extending the Thread class. You can then execute multiple threads in parallel to achieve concurrency. Still with me? It gets a bit more challenging when you need to spawn long-running tasks in parallel and […]

  Let’s face it, relying on clinical trial participants to self-report their medication intake isn’t ideal. Lots of things can go wrong. Patients can administer medication improperly, avoid taking the medication altogether, or even claim they’ve taken the medication when, in actuality, they haven’t. While there are other means of checking whether patients are taking […]

In a blog post from several months ago, Param Singh, director of clinical trial management solutions at Perficient, announced the newest version of our Siebel Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS) accelerator, ASCEND. ASCEND 2.0 includes Oracle’s new Open UI updates that make the system easier to deploy and run on a variety of browsers and […]

In our last “cloud fact or fiction” post, we pointed out that hosting your clinical trial software in the cloud gives companies unparalleled access to their data due to high system uptime and ease of access to systems. This time around, we’ll discuss cloud security. Claim #5: Clinical and safety data in cloud systems is not […]

A major part of the case management process is to ensure that every adverse event term is coded appropriately to the medical dictionary MedDRA. Oracle’s Argus Safety makes coding verbatim terms quite simple. The system integrates very smoothly with the medical dictionaries MedDRA and WHO Drug. Per current MSSO Points to Consider (MSSO, 2014), adverse […]

But, there are lots of ways to squeeze even more out of an already-great CTMS, like custom modules, integrations with other systems, and integrations with partner systems, like your top 3 preferred […]

As we wrap up 2014, I thought it would be neat to see what our readers were, well, reading. Without further ado, here are the top 10 blog posts Perficient’s life sciences practice wrote that seemed to be popular among readers. They’re ranked David Letterman-style, one being most popular (i.e., viewed). The One Feature CROs and […]

In a previous post, we discussed that Oracle’s Argus Safety makes entering and managing adverse event cases relatively simple due to its intuitive user interface. For this post, we’ll discuss working in the event and product assessment screen and look at a few of its key features. One main requirement for any safety system is […]

Last time, we concluded that the costs associated with hosting clinical trial software in the cloud can actually be less than for on-site solutions. In this post, we’ll tackle access to data and system uptime. Claim #4: Clinical or safety data stored in the cloud can be accessed at any time. Fact or fiction? Fact. […]

The electronic (or manual through the Safety Reporting Portal) reporting of post-marketed individual case safety reports (ICSRs) to the FDA will be required by mid-2015 (FDA, 2014), and the most efficient way to perform such activities is through an industry-proven adverse event reporting system, such as Oracle’s Argus Safety. Since this is the safety and […]

The pharmaceutical and medical device industries continue to be under close scrutiny by the FDA when it comes to product safety and the reporting of adverse events. With stringent regulatory requirements that’ll make any company or patient cringe, there’s no way to hide from authorities. And, rightly so. But, guess what? There are also adverse […]
